Audi A4 Model Years and History

The 2026 Audi A6 lineup sees a major split this year; the standard A6 sedan is a ground-up redesign, sporting a modern aesthetic while keeping its classic executive proportions. Meanwhile, Audi's station wagons follow a different path, the rugged A6 Allroad carries over with only minor tweaks, and the high-performance RS6 Avant enters the year by phasing out its ultra-exclusive, limited-run GT trim.

For 2025, the Audi A6 enters a new generation with a completely redesigned exterior and interior. The model features enhanced technology, including larger screens for the MMI interface and updated digital instrumentation. Powertrain options have been refined for improved efficiency and performance, while the chassis receives modifications for a more engaging driving experience.

For 2024, the Audi A6, A6 Allroad, RS 6 Avant and S6 get a refreshed exterior but otherwise carry over with minimal changes.

For 2023, the Audi A6, A6 Allroad, RS 6 Avant and S6 all carry over with minimal changes.

For 2022, the Audi A6 lineup gets a few minor changes. The S6 adds rear side impact airbags as standard, and the RS 6 receives an optional RS Design package.

For 2021, the Audi A6 lineup comes with no major changes. Many of the changes coming from more standard equipment on base models and updated packages across the lineup. A new Black Optics Sport package joins the roster and adds unique 20-inch wheels, black exterior trim, and a sport suspension.

The Audi A6 was completely redesigned for the 2019 model year and was available with just one engine choice. For 2020 Audi have expanded the lineup to include Allroad and S6 models broadening the lineup, while injecting a huge dose of performance into it via the S6. In addition, a new option package is available on the standard A6 while a few new features such as Audi's Virtual Cockpit Plus come standard on the Premium Plus trim.
